Original Post:

I have looked at the only 3 salvaged 97's in my area and they are all missing this part. What is it and anyone have a part number I could take to a dealership for a quote? I hate to buy it brand new cause i bet a sal yard would probably give me the piece for free....its so inconsequential and small.

thanks

Heh, not sure but if you find a source let me know. Mine is also missing.

i'm in the same boat.. when i bought my 4R it was missing

That's the shift lock button. When pressed, it will allow you to shift without pushing the brake pedal down. It's such a small part, maybe try calling some out of state yards and have them send it to you.

The Toyota part # is 33554-35020 It looks like its about 1.50 or so for it.

I just noticed on my trip to meet WabFab owner Brian Drawhorn to buy some tires today that mine was missing too.

Did you also know that the leather cover for the 4WD shifter is supposed to be under the plastic cover? If you remove the cover, the leather "boot" fits in a groove under the plastic. Mine was the same way when I bought it. I noticed it when I replaced the light bulb under the PRNDL shifter.

I'm missing it too--there must be little gnomes that come around at night to steal those things :shrug:

I had no idea there was a button under that thing. You learn something new every day!

 

[bak3rme]

maybe its a universal part for most toyotas made that year? check corolla camrys and such

I had one but when my brother helped me pull my center console for somehting it popped off and into oblivion never to be heard from or seen again. Good to know it is only $1.50.

Heh...must be an epidemic. I will have to give a shout to some yards around. Think this piece is orderable from the dealership by itself or would it have to come with the console?

ya know, that has bugged me since i got this thing. I figured there was something out of place, but i also thought that a previous owner could have broke a piece. I will have to slide that back into position when i go to pull all the wiring that a previous owner ran for an aftermarket stereo. Very pour craftsman ship on his part. the wires were really just thrown in with some really crappy speakers.

It is sold by itself. I google searched the part number provided by CFRANCK and saw prices $1.02-$1.89.

Went to the dealer today and ordered 3 for $1.10 each after my discount. I figured it would get lost again.

I still have mine. :lol::biggrin2:

 

[cfranck1]

I still have mine. :lol::biggrin2:

Yup me too. I even took it out of the Taco I had, before Toyota bought it back!! :bigok: :bravo:

 

[ksroqclimber]

Well.....I ordered the part #33554-35020, this is what i got today:

I don't think it's the right part:

The shape of the hole is not the same as the shape of the piece. When i attempt to put the piece in, there is a good gap. I did confirm it with the parts guy and looked at the diagram yesterday.....it was the right part number.

I know little about part numbers, I would assume that toyota gives each piece it's own number, and not have the same number, for the same piece from generation to generation? is that true? Could i get this piece with the same part number, but its for a newer model or something?

Could somone please post a shot of their console with the piece not missing?

It is like a Hood with a gap between the top of the cover and the flat spot in front of the P. This is so you can pop it out with your key.

OK, I tried squezzing it in. and this is what i have. Is this what it's suposed to look like?

If so this is some shoddy engineering for Toyota. Looks way outta place and the gap is pretty noticeable. But for $1.50 i supose i can live with it.

I still would like to see what one looks like that is factory.

Kinda a bad picture I found on the Internet but you can clearly see the cover in place and how it's suppose to look.

I'm sorry but I think I told you guys the part number for a 2wd cover.
I looked it up again and the 4wd part number is different.
This is the part number for a 4wd 33554-35050.
It's also about 6-7 bucks.

But again I'm sorry. I didn't see this myself when I looked the first time.
Hope you guys don't hate/ban me now!
